    I think Kwak was about the only thing I could say , probably where the name came from

    At Belgo they made (make? the one I went to in Bristol doesn't exist anymore) you leave one of your shoes as a deposit for the glass.

        Do they still sell Mad Dog 20/20 and Thunderbird? The drinks of choice for discerning teenagers.

        Just the thought it makes me feel queasy.

            So it did exist... I was never sure.

            I do remember going downstairs from street level to a place where they served beer in funny glasses and shots on a long rack.

              How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                Anything with alcohol in it. I would even have trouble with the christmas pudding even when the alcohol has been evaporated off.

                  Absinthe OMG. Do not drink this it is very dangerous. And not in a funny way

                      Any Southampton alumni will remember a juicy Lucy from clowns. Another bright green drink, insanely alcoholic served in a pint.

                      The only two things I've ever drunk and immediately thrown back up into the glass.
                      Or did you throw up once you realised that you were in Southampton
